Question Bank and Single Test Across Multiple Courses – Issue with Archived Enrollments

Hi everyone,


We created several question banks and a single test that is shared across multiple courses. The challenge is when a user fails the test in one course and then gets enrolled in another course (with the same test).

Since the system keeps the previous test score, we’ve been archiving users who didn’t pass so they can start fresh in the new course. However, once an enrollment is archived, we can only retrieve the score, not the detailed answers the user gave.

Has anyone faced this issue? Is there any workaround to either:

  • Keep test scores independent for each course, or
  • Retrieve the full test data from an archived enrollment?

Any advice would be appreciated!

    Sadly this has been the case ever since archiving was introduced a few years ago. There is no way to get the data back so you need to run reports before you archive anything if you need that data. If you prefer not archive, you can also look to assign a “make-up” test in a separate course, or perhaps add a 2nd test in the same course but mark both objects as “end object markers” so that if the user passes the fist test, they don’t need toothier with the second.

      Thank you very much for your help, I think having that 2nd test might work for my purpose.
